Chapter 64: New York City

Half an hour later, the police arrived at the scene. But the eerie picture almost became a nightmare for several young cops.

"What the hell is going on?"

"God is up to him." Another policeman replied.

"The identity of the deceased and the insane man could not be found. There is not the slightest clue. ”

"Did anyone call the police?"

"Not yet?"

"Then leave it to God. Wrap up. ”

And so the case came to an end. It turns out that the policemen in Hollywood movies with a strong sense of justice are not at all as many as Americans boast. There is no stunned young man who has to be investigated to the end in film and television dramas. This is a case that you can see at a look that is absolutely abnormal, and no one has the appetite to touch it at all.

In the original history, the economic crisis would have erupted for some time. But for Lin Xuan, since there is someone who can promote this crisis. He can likewise make it earlier.

Henry has already begun his campaign speech. He gave a number of lectures at his own expense. Several media outlets reported on his speeches, but most of them were mere mockery. As for the people, it's just some boring homeless people joining in the fun. Only this time Henry wasn't frustrated. On the contrary, he feels motivated. Now he is being treated colder. The more people think of him in the future.

"If this continues, nothing will stop him from winning the election. Once it starts, everyone will vote for him. ”

In an unknown conference room. Several middle-aged men are engaged in a secret discussion.

"Have you found out who is behind him?"

"Not sure. But there are definitely traces of wizards. What happened to John and the others showed obvious traces of magic. ”

"Isn't it true that wizards can't meddle in worldly matters?"

"Not necessarily, at least I'm working for you." A man in a robe in the corner spoke. He turned out to be a wizard who worked for the Consortium. "If I could, there must be someone else who broke the rules as well. And I saw what the hapless guy looked like. It's a terrible black magic. I've never seen it before. Enough to be compared to the three unforgivable spells of our wizarding world. It can be seen that this is definitely the work of a powerful dark wizard. ”

"Is there any way to deal with this?"

"No, the best thing to do is for you to continue to hide behind the scenes. Don't show a hint of horse's feet. Ugly words ahead, if that guy does come to the door, I don't think I can protect you. ”

While the crowd was talking, one of the attendants pushed open the door and walked up to one of them, handing him a telegram.

By the first half of 1929, Wall Street had been booming for seven years. The vast majority of investors believe that it will continue to prosper. However, many professional traders already feel the same atmosphere. Or gradually sell the stocks in hand.

Originally, this day occurred on October 24. But Lin Xuan advanced the whole incident by nearly a month. The day is Tuesday. It was also known as Black Tuesday in later generations. Over the next three days, the entire stock index fell by almost 50 percent. The direct economic losses are even greater than the U.S. Treasury bonds earned at one stop. The Great Depression that swept the world began at this moment. Hundreds of people died by suicide in just three days.

The turmoil in the stock market has rapidly spread to all industries. Countless factories went bankrupt. Banks collapsed, and large numbers of workers began to lose their jobs. The unions immediately wanted to get their jobs back through demonstrations. But they soon find that everything is falling apart, and there is no room for them to play anymore. Because even their boss is dying of hunger.

"Here it goes, sir. Everything is right for you. Henry hurried into Dan's bakery. shouted at Lin Xuan.

At this time, Lin Xuan was concentrating on studying this elementary magic course. This book can be said to be the prototype of the future Hogwoods School of Witchcraft and Wizardry's textbook for the lower grades. It was the product of Lin Xuan's first exchange with the Magic Council. Lin Xuan also paid for a beginner's magic guide. It was specially prepared for his students in the world of ice and fire.

"Calm down, Henry. You're the one to be called a New York City Councilor. What kind of panic it looks like. ”

Lin Xuan took Henry's first newspaper. In less than a month, all the newspapers throughout New York slapped themselves in the mouth. None of the words that had been utterly sarcastic were now visible. Full of 'miraculous prophets', 'hidden folk economists', and 'the mayor's position should be made for him'. Well, this last estimate was arranged by Henry's father.

Lin Xuan put down the newspaper after a few glances. It was all taken for granted to him. He wouldn't make a fuss like Henry.

"Alright Henry, I've pretty much done as much as I can. Then it's your time. Show yourself and fight for what you deserve. ”

All the newspapers were full of praise for Henry. It's as if the previous mockery wasn't what they said. Henry's next speech was attended by thousands of people. Almost all of New York's media arrived.

"Freedom has always been relative. But in our country. We've given the capitalists too much freedom. Look at what they did. They have ruined our society, your work, your life, your family. I think it's time to put them in order. ”

"We need fairer work charters and no blind competition. There should be more standardized standards for workers' wages, benefits, and working hours. This is a time of crisis and the government should step up and save our people......"

Henry's speech caused a great response among the lower classes. The great anti-transfer gives him a huge advantage over other competitors. In fact, it's not just New York City Councillors. The vast majority of long-term visionaries believe that he will go much further than that.

"There's nothing stopping me from winning the election. Mr. Now I guess I should know, what exactly do you need me to do? ”

"Don't worry, Henry, I won't force you to do something against your will. I just need you to push some urban infrastructure. There are now a large number of unemployed people in society. The government should introduce the construction of some public facilities. Cash-for-work solves the problem of unemployment and strengthens infrastructure. ”

"That's all?"

"Well, I just need you to build a few buildings according to my request, in some specific locations. Modify several streets at the same time. Of course, I can promise that this will have no impact on this society. This is a problem in the wizarding world. ”

Lin Xuan took out a drawing of New York City. The drawings show several special locations, as well as some renovated streets. It looks disorganized. But there is a faint mystery in it.
